artificial insemination (ai) is an important technique for breeding that has been extensively used in dairy farming worldwide. however, it has not been fully adopted in iran's dairy farms, especially in ardabil province. the main objective of this research was to study factors affecting adoption of ai in dairy farms of ardabil province. in order to predict the adoption of ai, technology ad...

This paper presents a new approach to model and test hierarchical Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). We exploit the structure of Hierarchical Finite State Machines (HFSMs) to reduce the number of states in the ”flat” Finite State Machine (FSM) resulting from the exploration of the model. Firstly, independent dialogs are identified and highlighted in a HFSM built from the FSM. Then, the portion o...

This paper proposes an approach to 2D gesture recognition that models each gesture as a Finite State Machine (FSM) in spatial-temporal space. The model construction works in a semi-automatic way. The structure of the model is first manually decided based on the observation of the spatial topology of the data. The model is refined iteratively between two stages: data segmentation and model train...

In the present report, we provide an illustrative review of the Family Stress Model (FSM) framework [1] to understand how family stress influences children across development in physical, social-emotional, and cognitive domains. We note that the FSM as a theory has evolved through inspection of: (a) new explanatory pathways (mediators); (b) factors that moderate FSM pathways; and (c) joint test...

The unmanned operation of agriculture machinery in the full field farmland is an important part farm and smart agriculture. Although autonomous navigation for robot has been widely studied literature, research on full-field path tracking problem rare. In this paper, order to enhance adaptivity algorithm, improved fuzzy Stanley model (SM) proposed based particle swarm optimization (PSO), where c...

In the Robotics industry, it is a frequent requirement that robots operate in real-time. The usual approach to this issue involves creating robots driven entirely by direct environmental input rather than complicated planning and decision-making AI. This approach means that the current state of the robot in relation to its environment exclusively determines the actions of the robot. In the simp...

The study measures farm credit risk by using farm records collected by Farm Business Farm Management (FBFM) during the period 1995-2004. The study addresses the following questions: 1) whether farm " s financial position is fully described by the structure model, 2) what are the determinants of farm capital structure under the structure model, 3) how to estimate and test farm asset correlation,...
